A good puckhandler, he can create offense at a very high tempo. Skates very well and can play either center or wing. Has good offensive instincts. Is sound defensively, too.

Flaws:

Needs to use his 6-2 frame more effectively to gain an edge in physical battles. Must also learn to shoot the puck more often, so as to keep defenses honest. Injuries are a concern.

Career Potential:

Speedy and versatile, yet fragile playmaking forward.

Peter Regin hopes to earn bigger role | 07/02/2014 8:58 AM

News

Peter Regin hopes to play a bigger role in 2014-15 than he had after being acquired by Chicago in February.

Chicago Tribune

Impact

Regin signed a one-year, $650,000 contract with the Blackhawks. "It's up to me that prove that I belong in the lineup every night," Regin said. "That's kind of all I've been asking is to get a shot and I think with a full season it's going to benefit my chances." He had four goals and 11 points in 61 games last season.

Peter Regin re-signs in Chicago | 07/01/2014 2:36 PM

News

The Chicago Blackhawks have re-signed Peter Regin to a one-year/$650,000 contract.

Bob McKenzie on Twitter

Impact

Regin was acquired from the Islanders in February and was mostly a depth player, especially during the playoffs. He played 61 regular season games in the NHL last season, scoring four and adding seven assists. He could have a bigger role in 2014-15 as he has a very friendly salary cap hit and the Blackhawks could be up against the cap.

Peter Regin uncertain if Hawks want him back | 06/04/2014 5:00 PM

News

Peter Regin isn't sure if he factors into the Blackhawks' future plans.

CSN Chicago

Impact

Chicago acquired Regin from the Ottawa Senators, but didn't use him much during the playoffs. He's scheduled to become an unrestricted free agent this summer. For what it's worth, Regin would like to re-sign with Chicago.

Peter Regin may suit up in Game 6 Friday | 05/29/2014 4:27 PM

News

Peter Regin could get back into Chicago's lineup for Game 6.

Mark Lazerus on Twitter

Impact

It's being speculated that the Blackhawks will scratch Kris Versteeg, so Regin or Jeremy Morin may get the nod for Friday's game instead. Regin has appeared in five games this postseason, but he hasn't dressed since Game 4 against Los Angeles.

Regin likely to be scratched with Shaw return | 05/24/2014 9:12 AM

News

The Blackhawks will likely scratch Peter Regin for Game 3 Saturday night against the Kings to create an active roster spot for Andrew Shaw.

Chicago Sun-Times

Impact

Shaw practiced with Kris Versteeg and Brandon Saad in practice on Friday, while Regin did not scrimmage on any of the top four lines. The well-travelled Regin played in the Hawks last four playoff games after being a healthy scratch for Chicago's first 10 post-season matches. As he has yet to register a point, Regin's stint in the press box is not really big news.

Peter Regin has a shot at Cup with Chicago | 05/21/2014 11:22 AM

News

After starting the season with Ottawa, Peter Regin has a chance to win the Stanley Cup with Chicago.

Ottawa Citizen

Impact

The Blackhawks acquired him to bolster their team's depth and Peter Regin has gotten some playing time with Andrew Shaw sidelined. "I knew it was going to be tough to crack the lineup," Regin said. "I knew I wasn't coming here to be a first line center and that I would have to earn my ice time. It's exciting to be part of it, even when you're not playing. Even practice is fun. The expectation is to win. It's up to me to play well to stay in and I think it has gone well the last three games." He's scheduled to become an unrestricted free agent this summer.

Peter Regin adds jump to Hawks' fourth line | 05/12/2014 7:33 AM

News

Peter Regin skated on the fourth line in Game 5 and coach Joel Quenneville like what he saw.

Chicago Tribune

Impact

He joined Kris Versteeg and Brandon Saad on the new-look combination. "He [Regin] came in and gave us good presence. Speed in the middle," Quenneville said. "Steeger, too. That line was effective for us - gave us more balance, a four-line rotation. It was a good response [from Regin] in the first playoff game for him. We liked what we saw." It was Regin's first playoff in four years and his first appearance in Chicago's lineup since April 12th.

Peter Regin to get a playoff shot in Game 5 | 05/11/2014 2:02 PM

News

After waiting patiently through nearly two full rounds of action, it appears as if the Chicago Blackhawks will insert Peter Regin into the lineup for Game 5 against the Minnesota Wild.

CSNChicago.com

Impact

An injury to Andrew Shaw and suspension for Brandon Bollig opens the door for Regin, who hasn't played since an April 12 regular season game and hasn't scored a goal since March 14. He's unlikely to make a huge long-term impact, yet sometimes players can take advantage of fresher legs and a renewed opportunity in their first games back.

Peter Regin should be back in Tuesday | 03/03/2014 1:01 PM

News

Peter Regin may center Chicago's third line when he returns to the lineup on Tuesday night.

Chicago Sun-Times

Impact

It's possible that Andrew Shaw will be moved to the wing to necessitate the change. Regin was a healthy scratch for Saturday's Stadium Series tilt versus Pittsburgh. He has one goal in two games with the Blackhawks since he was acquired from the New York Islanders.

Peter Regin scores lone goal in loss | 02/27/2014 10:23 PM

News

Peter Regin was the lone goal scorer for Chicago in a 2-1 loss to the New York Rangers on Thursday night.

Rotoworld.com

Impact

Regin's goal came with just 12 seconds remaining in the third period and while it had no impact on the final result, it was enough to break Cameron Talbot's shutout bid. Ben Smith and Brent Seabrook picked up assists on the goal.

Regin skates with Kane at Hawks' practice | 02/27/2014 12:28 PM

News

Peter Regin skated with Patrick Kane during Wednesday's practice.

Chicago Tribune

Impact

Regin played with Kris Versteeg and Brandon Saad in his Chicago debut prior to the Olmpic break because Kane was absent to attend his grandfather's funeral. "He seems very skilled just with little plays, how to draw defensemen's sticks in and get the puck to you with a little bit more time and space," Kane said. If the pairing works out then Regin could get a significant fantasy value boost.

Regin centered Hawks' second line | 02/08/2014 12:28 PM

News

Peter Regin, who was acquired Thursday night from the Islanders, centered the Blackhakws' second line between Brandon Saad and Kris Versteeg.

CSN Chicago

Impact

Of course the Hawks were short Patrick Kane, who left the team to attend his grandfather's funeral. It remains to be seen if Regin can hold on to this job, but if he does, he will certainly be worth keeping an eye on.

Hawks acquire Regin, Bouchard from Islanders | 02/07/2014 8:39 AM

News

Peter Regin and Pierre-Marc Bouchard were acquired by Chicago from the New York Islanders on Thursday night for a fourth-round draft pick in 2014.

Chicago Tribune

Impact

In 44 games with the Islanders this season, Regin has produced two goals and seven points. There's a chance that he could see second-line action with Chicago at some point because the Blackhawks still need someone to fill that slot. However, his acquisition is mainly to add more depth for the remainder of the season.

Peter Regin back in the Islanders lineup | 12/15/2013 8:57 AM

News

Peter Regin was in the New York Islanders lineup Saturday after being a healthy scratch in three of the previous four games.

New York Newsday

Impact

Regin has only a goal and four points in 30 games and has not picked up a point since October 26. If he is still in your fantasy lineup, you would probably be better off trying another fantasy sport.

Peter Regin pointless in last 16 games | 12/07/2013 8:20 AM

News

Peter Regin has not had a point in his last 16 games.

New York Newsday

Impact

The Islanders have a lot of players slumping but no one as much as Regin. He has a goal and four points this season and obviously should not be on your fantasy team, nevermind being in your lineup.

Peter Regin a healthy scratch Saturday | 11/24/2013 8:42 AM

News

Peter Regin was a healthy scratch on Saturday.

New York Newsday

Impact

Regin has only a goal and four points in 23 games but does have 18 penalty minutes. He has not picked up a point since October 26, a span of 12 games, so his benching cannot be seen as a surprise.

P. Regin scores in Islanders' losing effort | 10/30/2013 10:45 AM

News

Peter Regin scored a goal in the Islanders' 3-2 loss to the Rangers on Tuesday.

New York Newsday

Impact

Regin has five points in 12 games this season. That's not a bad start for him, but he's averaging just 12:46 minutes per game and we don't think he'll end up having much fantasy value in standard leagues.

Isles agree to terms with Peter Regin | 07/05/2013 12:26 PM

Peter Regin has inked a one-year contract for $750,000 with the New York Islanders.

Regin will probably not be back with Ottawa | 05/28/2013 7:49 AM

News

Peter Regin is set to become an unrestricted free agent this summer and he may be permitted to test the waters.

Ottawa Citizen

Impact

"It's disappointing," he said referring to his 2013 performance. "I love it here. (If I'm not back), it wouldn't be because I don't like the team or the city." Regin played in only 10 games in 2011-12, and 55 the year before. He was limited to 27 contests during the lockout-shortened campaign and he collected just three assists.

Peter Regin to be a game-time decision Monday | 02/17/2013 3:55 PM

News

While some expect Peter Regin to return on Monday, it sounds like the Ottawa Senators will make that decision tomorrow.

Ian Mendes on Twitter

Impact

Perhaps it will come during the morning skate or maybe even right before the game. The Sens are obviously hurting for offense, but they still need to be careful not to aggravate his upper-body injury. Daniel Alfredsson and Sergei Gonchar skipped recent practices but are expected to play.

Ottawa Senators place C Peter Regin on injured reserve.

Senators on Twitter

Impact

Regin was hurt during Saturday's game against the Winnipeg Jets. He can be activated seven days after being placed on IR, which is likely retroactive to Sunday.

News

Peter Regin is the only Senators forward on the active roster without a point.

Ottawa Citizen

Impact

Regin has four penalty minutes in nine games this season. He doesn't have much offensive upside and won't spend enough time in the sin bin to make it worth picking him up in anything but the deepest of fantasy leagues.

Peter Regin set to rebound from bad shoulder | 01/16/2013 1:53 PM

News

Peter Regin feels ready to rebound from two left shoulder surgeries in the past two seasons.

Ottawa Citizen

Impact

"I'm past that, I have no pain, I have the same strength," Regin said. "I've been skating for five months. Playing in Switzerland gave me some confidence that I know I can play. Even though it's a different style of hockey on the big rinks, you still bump into each other. I knew I could handle that, from taking the bumps and hits over there." He played just 10 games last season. At training camp he has been skating on the third line with Zack Smith and Chris Neil.
